in tokyo, japan (jan’24)

a ramenya which has been on my list for as long as i remember but was hesitant to travel given its distance away from the city. but so glad i finally visited, becoming on of the top shoyu ramens i’ve had in the city. the bowl is a bit small compared to most, but really loved every component here from their freshly made noodles in house to the light but umami filled soup with an elegant soy finish. their broth is based from mainly duck, pork and chicken too, mixing...

in tokyo, japan (jan’24)

a ramenya which has been on my list for as long as i remember but was hesitant to travel given its distance away from the city. but so glad i finally visited, becoming on of the top shoyu ramens i’ve had in the city. the bowl is a bit small compared to most, but really loved every component here from their freshly made noodles in house to the light but umami filled soup with an elegant soy finish. their broth is based from mainly duck, pork and chicken too, mixing proteins to bring layers of umami. chasiu was considerably soft, almost sous-vide and a thick cut slice which was a bit too fatty for me, but the wonton was also nice.

shio on the other hand was okay, not too memorable as it didn’t have the same level of depth, but condiments were equal to that of the shoyu. highly recommended spot for shoyu ramen lovers, worth seeking out as the queue moves relatively quickly as well.

Dinner at 中華そば しば田

中華そば しば田

Shibata, a popular ramen shop located 30 minutes west of Shinjuku, offers two types of soup: niboshi and classic chukasoba. The stock uses chicken and duck for a unique taste, blending well with soy sauce. Shibata's deep bowls are simple yet delicious, and they are ranked on many best of lists, so expect a line.

Dinner at しば田

Top ranked ramen shop in Japan on Tabelog - Shibata (しば田), located 30 minutes West of Shinjuku. A former apprentice of the now-closed Raku Raku shop in Kichijoji, the Chef opened Shibata in November of 2013. Two styles - niboshi and chuka soba.
✧
We opted for the chuka soba with a duck-based broth, roasted chashu, menma and green onion. Overall, a very solid bowl of ramen. 🍜

Ramen at Shibata (しば田)

on 25 Sep 2019

by Abram Plaut

Recommended bowl: Best new shop of 2013

Master Shibata-san served his apprenticeship at Raku-Raku in Kichijoji, before opening his own shop in 2013. From the get go he started receiving accolades, being chosen as the top overall rookie shop to open in Tokyo for the year. The main offering is a chūka soba, consisting of a light soup made from simmering premium jidori chickens and ducks for long hours. As the birds simmer the oil is rendered and collected.

Recommended bowl: Best new shop of 2013

Master Shibata-san served his apprenticeship at Raku-Raku in Kichijoji, before opening his own shop in 2013. From the get go he started receiving accolades, being chosen as the top overall rookie shop to open in Tokyo for the year. The main offering is a chūka soba, consisting of a light soup made from simmering premium jidori chickens and ducks for long hours. As the birds simmer the oil is rendered and collected. It is then added to the bowls of ramen when served. The shoyu tare sauce contains seven varieties of soy sauce at the time of this writing, but Shibata-san himself admits he is constantly tinkering with his recipe trying to make it better. There is also a niboshi soba on the menu, for those craving ramen with a bit of fishiness. Shibata-san has a noodle machine and would like to eventually make his own house-made noodles, but for now he is ordering them via Mikawaya Seimen, using a special recipe. A top ranked shop worth the trip. Less
